Holocaust Inquiry

Why did people allow the Holocaust to happen?

By the end of class today, I expect a completed shared Google doc from your group with an answer to this question in the form of a critical paragraph. Yes, I expect words. Yes, cite your sources. Yes, everyone writes this. A few things about this:

• This is a HUGE question. You don't have time to learn everything. Divide and conquer.
• Use your schema, the starter resources, and the Chromebooks.
• The starter resources are just that: starter resources. I expect you to go out and find more resources than just the ones I have provided you.
• No, you don't have time to completely answer this question. Or for a single person to do all the work. Get going!

Starter resources, with the starting point for possible answers. Why did people allow the Holocaust to happen?

• People were following orders
• Leaders' orders
• Civilians allowed this to happen
• The United States did nothing
